I have personal experiance with them from repairing my grandparents PC which had a corrupt windows install and could not be repaired. The product key was genuine and it worked without an issue. Paul's Hardware has used them as well. There is little to no risk with buying from Kinguin tbh.

I mean its a pretty widely accepted credit card company (mastercard). It is just not a good idea to buy from sites like kinguin and g2a.
